What is the difference between structured content and semantic HTML?

Structured content incudes the div element and is the smaller organization elements to a section. While semantic HTML organizes an entire page of info, such as organizing it into a header, body, and footer.

How do they work together?

They work together to create easy organization for the coder where the structured content will further organize elements within semantic html.

Why is it important to have structured content and semantic HTML in your web page?

It is important because they again create good organization for the coder but also good documentation for anyone else that needs to use the code.

Required Readings

Denise Jacobs argues that we all have a troll-like inner critic. Of the methods she identifies to banish this troll, which would be most successful for you? Why?

The most successful method for me is the "If you're not part of the solution..." method. When working on project I tend to get held up on smaller aspects of the project and won't move forward until its figured out. This method speaks to stop critiquing and "shut it up long enough for you to tap into your brilliance" which allows me to continue with my work.

In David McRaney's article, what is "hyperbolic discounting"? List one method McRaney identifies to counteract hyperbolic discounting. Which would work best for you?

Hyperbolic Discounting is almost the same procrastinating where you save tasks for later to reward yourself with free time now, with the thought that you will have more free time later.

The method McRaney identifies that would work best for is the one where I must realize future me is someone "who will be influenced by a different set of ideas and desires, a you in a different setting where an alternate palette of brain functions will be available for painting reality". In addition to all the things quoted future me is someone who will have different tasks to do from the possible future and now me will be contributing to more tasks.
